Oh the weather outside is frightful! No school again tomorrow and we are still on a Level 3 snow emergency. Basically all roads are closed and for good reason! The plowshare getting stuck on them and most are drifted completely shut.... I'd say we "might" have school on Thursday.

Umm I think I my workouts in today. 3 sessions of shoveling the driveway for 25-30 min each time.... Me thinks I will be sore tomorrow! Schools closed , well actually the whole county is shut down tomorrow so I'll be all tucked in at home!

@alupinsk- I'm going to Riteaid here in a minute to get some facial cream (I get this nasty bacterial infection on my face about once every two or three years and this seems to be the year. It itches like crazy and goodness knows what traveling will be like tomorrow! So I'm getting stuff to deal with it at home) otherwise…

Karen and Laurie-thank you for mentioning you papers to grade! I have my grades entered but I need to make comments tomorrow and get my grade cards submitted! I'm crossing my fingers that our school makes the call tomorrow instead of waiting also. A even if the snow doesn't happen I think they may call it for the temps…

I'm still trucking along. I tracked all summer 1600 cal diet worked out, lost 5 pounds all summer long. I was so disappointed and discouraged. i've now been on Q for 14 weeks and lost 25 pounds. I haven't experienced any major side effects. Minor side effects, carbonated beverages taste disgusting, and occasional limb…

Northwest Ohio. They are calling for 8-12 inches for us which is super rare and then followed by subzero temps. These temps haven't happened here in 20 years!

I may be in the minority here but we are forecast to have another snowstorm all day Sunday with 6-12 inches of snow and I LOVE it! I think I'll have some more chances to shovel! (And maybe my Christmas break won't end :drinker: ) The winds are supposed to whip up and they are talking possible blizzard! Then they are…

there I got a few of them fixed for you with what I had to do to fix mine :) you need to have and then if 20% is in your link somewhere you need to delete it and make it a space.

Whew! I just blew in from shoveling most of my driveway.... I am leaving the 9x9 3 ft drift for my husband to get with the plow when he gets home! I had an hour in the drive shoveling as is I wasn't about to tackle that monster! A coworker on my third grade team just joined mfp this break so I'm looking toward to having…

Hi all! I'm still around just been swamped with life and uber busy. Still logging on MFP but haven't been on the boards much. As my ticker says I'm down 24 pounds YAY! For the first time in forever I haven't gained my way through the holidays! Here to keeping that momentum going! I'm being a night owl tonight as my husband…

I can't run per my surgeon so I've never used one so I'm not help!

That's the day we started too!

And holy canoli conferences already?!?! Is it even the end of the 1st quarter for you guys? We have two weeks yet before ours..... :noway: I just confirmed on the calendar our conferences are the 24th and 29th.... How are we to this point already :drinker: (Note: this is coffee in my mug.... lots of coffee....)

:frown: Oh guys I have to share this with you. It breaks my heart. As many of you know I teach third grade. Well recently it's been brought to my attention that one of my girls is being bullied for being over weight. :brokenheart: I just found out today how severe it really is. We take state testing the next two days and…

Hi all! I'm still around! School been keeping me on my toes but I'm still around and tracking my food on here. I just haven't had much time to catch up on here. I started Qsymia a week ago (on my daughter's 6th birthday) and in the last week I've dropped 8 pounds :noway: I know I won't get these results every week but it…

I just started it yesterday.

Ok so not nearly as active tonight after school. In fact I came home feeling like I was catching something ate a snack (chicken breast) and slept for an hour before getting Izzy from her dad's. Then we ate supper (roast beef from the crock pot) and visited my parents for a bit. I have some grading I need to do because…

@Charolette- how scary!! Lots of prayers for your daughter, you and your family!! AFM- I'm working on being more active once I get home from school this week. Up til this point this school year it's been walk in the door, fix supper, grade papers while watching tv, planning for the rest of the week and crash for the night.…

Hi all. I'm still here sort of.... The whole getting back into the swing of the school year thing has been throwing me for a loop. I went to the Dr a month ago for my yearly. We decided to check my blood levels since through out the summer and hard work I only lost 5 pounds. Met with her again today and my blood work is…

Hi all, I'm back. Getting ready for school and the first week of school consumed my August!! I'm back and going at it again. I discovered my scale is broken (it is weighing my 5 year old 5 pounds heavier than she weighed 2 weeks ago and the girl is a twig and has no way gained 5) so I'm in the market for a new one! Tonight…

Thanks Kah- I had the protein upped and carbs down. I'm not sure how it bumped back to the original MFP macros. It's switched back now! I had a maybe a drink a night on vacation and waaaay more sugar than I'm used to and carb overload that I know. I didn't track food intake on vacation but I knew I wasn't eating horribly…

@skinnyjeans- The calories are so off because I adjusted the calories up from a 2 pound a week loss to a 1 pound a week loss after almost 2 months and about 5 pounds to show. I haven't seen much movement with weight loss with either way.

HI all! Back from vacation and in the whirl wind that is two weeks before school starts (less than that now, AHHH). I have a lot of catching up to do but first I need to vent. I gained 7 pounds on vacation. I know I ate horribly but I kept active too. and considering how slowly the weight has been coming off all summer. I…

@cath- This will be my third year teaching 3rd grade. I love it! @skinnyjeans- awesome job on only 2 pounds on your trip! I'm on vacation this week and hoping to do well. As for school talk- We start the 20th ugh, so 3 weeks? I'm on vacation this week and have 2 teacher work days before school. So yeah summer is winding…

@cath I'm so sorry I missed your loss! I must have skim read more than I meant to this week! Huge hugs I can't imagine losing one of "my kids". In school related news, I started the dreaded yearly task of putting my classroom back together. I had a friend help and actually got a lot done. Now I can go to vacation and know…

I'm glad you mentioned laundry.... I completely forgot about my load in the washer!!! lol Is it absolutely gorgeous outside any where else today?!?! It's the mid 70's the sun is shining and there's a light breeze. Absolutely perfect!

@skinnyjeans- it's an hour south of Traverse City, MI. It's beautiful up there. My mom's family has spent a week every summer up there since before my mom was born! This year is going to be hard though. We lost my grandma at 68 last August and this will be the first trip with out her. AFM- It is a gorgeous morning today!…

Hi all! New day here but I'm having a hard time getting out of the funk that was yesterday. Every time I'd go to workout something would happen (Jordan got home from work and we went to the store then my friend called me back over). I feel so drained today! But I got up and went around town for pictures of our local…

Robin- Huge hugs to you! There must be something in the air today. I got a call from one of my friends this morning sobbing, asking if I could come over. Her husband of less than a year has decided he'd rather "have feelings" for his ex girlfriend than work on his marriage and left. I am so mad at him for her. I went…
